Nicolas Anelka: 'You can see when we are on the pitch we are all friends in one team, from different regions and different colours but we are still winning games.

'There is no place for prejudiced thoughts, no place for fighting, so if you can work well together on the football pitch you can do it in your life.

Last season Chelsea were awarded with the Intermediate Level of the Racial Equality Standard (RES) for our work tackling discrimination within the game, which added a extra impetus to our work fighting racism and all forms prejudice .

The club has undertaken numerous projects throughout the year engaging fans and our communities in aspects of our anti discrimination work. Over 2,000 young people in south-west London participated in the club's anti-discrimination education campaign, headed up by Chelsea's first black player, Paul Canoville.

Canoville played a significant part in the club's history and has become a regular visitor to schools across London for our education department, telling the story of how he combated the racism he encountered as a player.

Every year pupils engaged in the programme design their own posters with the winning designers having the opportunity to lead the teams out at Stamford Bridge
